You work downtown for a massive tech company, but not Apple or Zynga; this tech firm sprouted in downtown and went public two years back. You get off work and head home to Thornton Park Westside, a thriving multi-cultural bohemian neighborhood that used to be called Parramore. That night, you try to decide between catching a concert at the revamped amphitheater at Lake Eola or the indie music festival happening underneath I-4.

You get in your self-driving flying car and ... OK, too far. But the only part of that that’s truly fantasy was the previous sentence.

“They’re attracted to a market, and then they go,” Kittinger said. “Then they find somewhere to work or start a company.”

Here are three big ideas for downtown Kittinger talked about at the event:

Lake Eola Amphitheater: It’s big, it’s green. It looks like it was plucked out of the 1980s. And yes, the ’80s are coming back, but the Walt Disney Amphitheater at Lake Eola is due for an update. And it's fantastic real estate.

I-4 Ultimate: One feature of the $2.2 billion project is to raise up Interstate 4, which creates a very unique real estate opportunity under the highway. “How do you take advantage of that space?” Kittinger asked. “How can you make it a place where people gather, where there are surprises?”
